I use many open source products (I don’t like to pay for software I can get for free), and a fellow teacher found one for me I had never heard of: Scribus. It is a publishing program, much like MS Publisher, only free.
Also, if you haven’t checked out Open Office yet, I highly recommend it. I use it at home and at work, and I will not be paying for MS Office in the future.
I guess so. Sorry if your comments got stuck. They have been set free from their own purgatory.
I just found out about Open Office, a Microsoft alternative that can save in MS files. From what I can tell they offer alternatives to Word, Excel, Power Point, and Access. They also have a “Draw” program which seems to be similar to MS Publisher. I can’t believe I didn’t find this earlier! The other day I was looking for an alternative to Power Point that I could use to make a Power Point presentation.
I just read too that Microsoft is cracking down on pirated copies of its software. I am going to try Open Office. I would love to find a free, quality, alternative to Microsoft Office.
Probably. I am seriously considering making this the new home for An Aid to Memory. First, the blog would be hosted on my own domain. Second, I would have virtually unlimited bandwidth. Third, despite it being difficult, I like the WordPress format. Finally, I can save about 4 dollars a month. I am not yet ready to say “link here” but I am getting close.
Doesn’t the photo on the left just kind of say desolation? It is a photo of an old school in the area. I actually used to play on this playground.
I am mainly posting this to see what WordPress has to offer.
This is just a test! I am playing around with Wordpress.
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
I took this photo in October, at night, with a slow shutter speed, so it seems like it is day. Of course I used a tripod. I think it turned out pretty cool.
Here a few songs I have been listening to on Yahoo Music:
Moon River - Morrissey
One by One - Wilco
He was A Friend of Mine - Jerry Jeff Walker
4 AM - Our Lady Peace
Once in a Very Blue Moon - Nancy Griffith
Enough of this randomness…Happy Friday and Feast of the Seven Founders of the Order of Servites.
…and exclusive and bitter, but Anne Lamott proves that when abortion is involved even the left gets hyper-childish. Read The Rights of the Born.
Thanks to Dave at The Catholic Report for the link.
